What if it all works out ?

Curiosity, I believe, is a defining characteristic of what makes us human, guiding our understanding of the world and, more importantly, what it could become. From the dawn of time, human beings have been driven by the urge to ask questions and by a refusal to accept things as they are. Discovering fire was not enough; we learned to control it. This marked a crucial shift, a pattern of thought rooted in questioning and experimentation. Over time, curiosity—the very trait that led to countless innovations we depend on today—has fundamentally altered the boundaries of knowledge and redefined what we consider possible.

The curious impulse begins as instinct. Childhood is marked by a relentless sequence of “why” that leaves many parents baffled and exhausted. As children, we do not simply observe or accept the world; we touch, taste, and investigate it. Every object becomes a question, and every question reveals a fundamental method of learning and meaning-making. Children doubt everything, and I dare say that it is through this human trait of questioning that philosopher René Descartes declared, “Cogito, ergo sum” — I think, therefore I am. In his extended inquiry into thought, he reveals the inherent nature of human identity: we question not only to gain knowledge, but to exist intentionally in the world.
